I can imagine a situation where people donating about 100 VRC are holding as strong of a vote as someone who donated 100,000. You could get trolls coming out of no-where, getting together, and throwing 100 VRC each to swing votes in a direction that may not represent the community properly. I think weighted votes are the only way to do it.

Just an example.. I'm sure it could be structured fairly, albeit I'm not the best to go for advice on this but it seems like a fair method to me...

I have to agree. No matter what we think things are not equal. If someone has a lot more money invested then be they should have more say because they have much more than me to loose. Same with people with less then me. If I am top dog I sure as hell do not want someone that has .0001% of what I have invested running how my money is handled.

Obviously, the vote of how to spend the donations should be by those who go now and donate with each coin being 1 vote. Anything else is wholly unfair.

100 VRC donated = 100 votes50,000 VRC donated = 50,000 votes.

That is what weighted means and that is why I believe James choose the word "weighted" when he first donated the coins back to the community. Very simple and fair.

Pehaps James can come up with a Block-Chain Two, voter registration solution, that gives one vote to each community member regardless of level of wealth. This would be a 'Game Changer" for all of socitey. A secure, tamper proof, mechinism for conducting a vote within a pure Democratic, one person/one vote, all people are equal, entity.

This solution would have to insure "anonomity" to satisfy some.

--OR--

Maybe we should deterimine if VeriCoin is based on Democratic principles. One vote for each VRC owned is NOT how a Democracy operates.

James. The Golden Rule I know is "Do unto others as you would want done unto you."

If some Whale came in and contributed 500,037 VRC he would hold a majority of the coins.

In the case of a 2/3 majority being needed the Whale would only have to get holders or proxies from other holders of slightly less then 170,000 VRC to win control. The amount needed for control could be reduced further by additional contributions by the originating, Big Buying, Whale.

Everyone, sometimes we have to take a leap of faith the Trust comes later. Look at the work has James has put into Vericoin. He sees something here that can really be a game changer. I have quite a lot invested in this coin myself. I have even put coin into Supernet because I believe in the plan and in the Devs. Lets come together and move forward we all have Stake in the coin so lets all work to get it moving in the direction it should be moving. Shall we?

Sneak peek of portion of the new wallet. We are putting in the finishing touches, and here is a taste of what's to come.

Is the stake number the REAL one or like before?

This is the one from before. We would have to distribute new data to all the nodes in the network to get the pure coins staking. We will do this, but not on this update because it will come with the next protocol update.

I don't want to offend anybody or something like that..But the wallet looks pretty standard to be honest. Not special at all, I expected AT LEAST a little bit more.Well.... After months without any releases, it looks like even a pretty simple wallet update is good.

In the end I am disappointed since it looks like Vericoin won't be able to deliver any real developments this year anymore.

Will there be at least a lightweight wallet like MultiBit with the new wallet or will it be just the core Wallet with new button skins as it looks like?

Make suggestions! Everybody and their mother moans about being disappointed with "this" or "that", but very few people actually make suggestions. The devs do listen to the community, but if all we do is generalized moaning, they're just going to sigh and go back to work. I've made several suggestions on the wallet and have seen some of my suggestions implemented. Contribute!

I want a price button! Everytime I push the button the price goes up!

Or how bout a time warp button so I can go back in time and kill hitler!

All kidding aside what do you want to see in the wallet?

P.S. - don't you find it funny that we are only seeing half the wallet *wink wink* I smell secret feature
